Chapter 8: Obsession with the Dead
Fang Yan sat at the desk, thinking about the conversation with Zhou Jing this morning, it turned out that 401 had really been murdered, and it was an unsolved case, although the suspect had been wanted, but he had not been arrested. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In fact, Fang Yan thought of the possibility of "unjust cases", because the ghosts in ghost movies are usually generated by unjust death or resentment, and the "ghost" he saw last night was full of resentment at first glance. And he is not afraid of shadows, he has never done anything wrong, and presumably the ghost is not coming at him.
According to Zhou Jing, the cause of the case was that the 401 landlord was caught cheating before marriage, and in the process of arguing with his fiancée, he killed his fiancée in a fit of rage, and disappeared after clumsily disguising the scene as an accidental death with Xiao San, "You said that this is not a thief shouting to catch a thief, disguised the scene as an accidental death, and then called the police to say that his fiancée had an accident, and then the person disappeared, I didn't expect to do such a disgusting thing that lost my conscience! What a blind girl who is as beautiful as a flower! However, this woman's estimation is also problematic, if she doesn't look so beautiful, what is her fiancé still cheating! Fang Yan's eyes showed Zhou Jing's regretful but gossipy look.
Coincidentally, the case occurred in Fang Yan's criminal investigation district, although it was not handled by 5 groups, but the relevant report of this case could be found, the deceased's name was Tong Shixin, and he died of drowning, and the deceased had obvious traces of binding on his body, but there was no binding object that matched the corpse marks at the scene. The electric shock marks on the deceased's body were completed after death, and a hair dryer was found at the bottom of the bathtub at the scene, and the electric shock marks were caused by it. The deceased had marks of a heavy object hitting the back of his head, and after comparing the wounds, the heavy object was an oval object, but no matching artifact could be found at the scene. There were obvious traces of turning in the bedroom, the deceased's finances, the deceased's fiancé's finances, and clothes all disappeared, leaving only a cabinet of children's clothes, and no third-party fingerprints and footprints were found at the scene except for Tong Shixin and Chen Yiyang. When looking for clues to investigate the perpetrators, it was found that Chen Yiyang disappeared after calling the police, and no one knew his whereabouts. All of the above signs pointed the finger of the suspect at Chen Yiyang, so he was wanted, but he has not been found. At the same time, multiple doubts were also raised in the report, which is also where Fang Yan felt doubts, why should he kill people in anger and then drown the dead after tying them up? A blow to the back of the head is the starting point for impulsive killing, right? Why such a botched on-site camouflage? The deceased was lying in the bathtub as if he was asleep, not at all like an accident! In the report, Fang Yan saw the deceased in a red lace skirt, and Fang Yan immediately thought of the blood red he saw before he fell unconscious last night, "Hey, the red-clothed ghost, it's not easy to mess with even if you think about it, how much resentment this is!" Obviously, I am unwilling! ”
In the interpersonal relationship survey, almost everyone thinks that Tong Shixin and Chen Yiyang are a couple with a very good relationship, rarely quarrel, the two have a good reputation, and have been praised by the company's leaders and colleagues, no one knows what conflicts there are between them, or the existence of a third party, only in Zhou Jing's confession mentioned that on the day Tong Shixin was killed, she saw Chen Yiyang take a red-haired woman home from the cat's eye on the door, and the police attached great importance to this clue at that time, and visited everywhere, but did not get any clues.
There was no mention of the 401 haunting incident in the report, thinking of Zhou Jing's slightly frightened expression this morning, Fang Yan could particularly empathize, "Do you know how I found out that 401 was haunted?" Zhou Jing looked at Fang Yan nervously, "In the middle of the night on the 7th day of the accident, I was sleeping, and I was suddenly woken up by a woman's crying, I thought who was crying in the corridor, and was about to open the door to scold her, what did the ghost cry in the middle of the night!" When I opened the door and saw that there was no one, I wondered, could I have heard it wrong in my dream? But when I went to the bedroom, I heard the woman crying again, this time I heard it really well, it was in the bathroom, I was a little scared, upstairs in the bathroom just died, I heard the woman crying in the bathroom, can I not have associations! I walked to the bathroom door, quietly opened the bathroom door and looked inside, there was no one at all, and the crying was gone, so I opened the bathroom door and walked in, and suddenly the woman's crying sounded again, do you know where it came from? It's in the drains! At that time, I was scared to death, I quickly ran out, I didn't dare to enter the bathroom for several days, and I took a bath and went to the toilet to go to the public bath and public toilet outside, and then I told my neighbors that no one believed me, thinking that I was scared after hearing about the murder, and then I didn't bother to say it. But from there I never heard the cry again, but the 401 tenant didn't go in for two days, he checked out and left, and it is said that some tenants were frightened crazy, and their families even ran to the intermediary to argue and ask for compensation. Since then, word has spread that 401 is a haunted house, and no one rents this house anymore. Who knew you were coming, you must have been blinded by an intermediary. After listening to what Zhou Jing said, Fang Yan was more certain about the haunting, and he vaguely answered Zhou Jing's question about "what happened last night", only said something like the wind blew, the electric lights flickered, and he had nightmares in the middle of the night, and he didn't dare to describe what happened specifically, for fear that one would be careless and cause panic among the public. Regarding Zhou Jing's suggestion of "going to the intermediary to make trouble and getting some compensation", Fang Yan was noncommittal, one is that it is too troublesome to rent a house again, not to mention that it is not possible to find such a suitable one, the price is still expensive, and secondly, although Fang Yan is full of shadows about the supernatural incident last night, he feels sympathy for the deceased, a girl who is excellent in all aspects, is in the prime of her life but suffers a catastrophe, not only that, but the soul is also stranded in the world because of resentment, and cannot rise to Elysium, it is so pitiful! Since she is stranded because of resentment, as long as the case is solved as soon as possible and the deceased is wronged, can she be relieved? It is the duty of criminal investigators to solve the case, thinking of this, Fang Yan made a decision in his heart, calmly face this ghost collision incident, solve the case as soon as possible, let the deceased eliminate his grievances and get rid of it as soon as possible, so that he can also live in 401 more steadily. In the end, when Fang Yan called the intermediary, he only said that the bathroom was leaking, and when the intermediary heard that it was a 401 resident, his attitude immediately straightened up, and he was very active in solving the problem.
As soon as Fang Yan hung up the phone, a hand slapped him on the shoulder, startling Fang Yan, "Xiao Yan, I'm sorry for the concern and love that the party and the people have given you for deserting during work hours!" "As soon as he heard this indecent voice, Fang Yan knew that it was Sun Hao who came." You still take time out of your busy schedule to visit your elders, what a filial piety! Fang Yan pulled Sun Hao's hand off his shoulder and turned around and teased, "you!" You kid has a good mouth, what are you doing? What about case learning? Fang Yan glanced at Sun Hao and said, "Yes, I can only study and study cases in the office, how can I be like you, running all over the world to solve cases!" "Hahahaha, Xiaoyan, do you smell a vinegar smell in the air, sour? "Cut, that must be the taste in your mouth, you didn't rinse your mouth after eating garlic at noon, right?" "you, I haven't eaten at noon!" , Fang Yan looked around, and suddenly asked Sun Hao very seriously, "Have you ever seen a ghost?" "I'll go, Xiaoyan, have you met a vixen?" "you, I've met a rat spirit! Stand right before me! "Hahaha, have you forgotten that the witch said that you have a more yin nature and are easy to see ghosts~", Sun Hao woke up the dreamer with a word, Fang Yan immediately remembered the "fairy mother-in-law" who helped him summon spirits when he was a child, "your witch, if there is really a witch, I will let her beat you back to your original form!" After speaking, he got up and walked out, "Hey, why did you go, you really want to find the fox spirit, you kid is forgetful!" Fang Yan ignored Sun Hao, who continued to wail behind him, and came to the rest area with his mobile phone, ready to call the "fairy mother-in-law" to ask one or two.
Granny Xian's original surname is Gu, and everyone in ten miles and eight towns calls her "Gu Xian'er", while Fang Yan habitually calls her "Granny Xian". Since the success of helping Fang Yan summon the soul, Granny Fairy has become the benefactor of Fang Yan's family, they will send something to Granny Fairy every New Year's holiday, Granny Fairy has no relatives around her, and her only son is also working in the city, and he is not allowed to come back once a year, so he is very happy about their arrival, especially Fang Yan, who simply treats him as his own grandson. Every time Fang Yan goes to see Granny Fairy with her family, she will pester Granny Fairy to tell him stories, Granny Fairy herself has no culture, what can she tell her children? can only tell some of the legends and stories she heard the old man tell before, just a few over and over, over and over Fang Yan didn't like to listen to it, and then she couldn't help it, so she picked up her previous skills and told Fang Yan about the experience and rumors of worshipping immortals and summoning spirits. Later, as soon as Fang Yan went to school, he went less, especially after going to college, and only had time to see the "fairy mother-in-law" when he went home during the Spring Festival every year. Every time she goes back, the "fairy mother-in-law" will tell Fang Yan some stories about her past soul summoning like when she was a child, and put on the peace charm invited by the temple for Fang Yan, but Fang Yan, who has undergone materialist education, is no longer as convinced of the story as he was when he was a child, although he feels that the "fairy mother-in-law" is superstitious, but he still listens carefully to the story that his mother-in-law told me who repeats it I don't know how many times, and obediently wears the peace charm that is changed every year, because he knows that in his mother-in-law's heart, he is still the little dot who pesters her to tell stories, The mother-in-law just did what she thought Fang Yan would like, in order to express her love for Fang Yan, so Fang Yan never couldn't bear to refute her superstitions, nor could she bear to interrupt her chatter. Later, Fang Yan bought an elderly mobile phone for her mother-in-law, so that her mother-in-law could call him at any time when she wanted him, but no matter how Fang Yan taught, her mother-in-law would only answer the phone and never call.
As soon as the phone rang, Granny Fairy answered, "Hey, Xiaoyan?" "Yes, Granny Fairy, your phone is so fast." "Hey, I want to call you, but I can't figure it out for a long time, so I took the phone and looked at it, and when I looked at it, I felt that I saw you, but I looked at you and called you, it seems that the gods have appeared." Fang Yan listened to the fairy mother-in-law, her nose was a little sour, she was busy with work and moving recently, she hadn't called her mother-in-law for a long time, and she felt a little guilty, so she took advantage of the lunch break to chat with her mother-in-law about the current situation. In the process of chatting, Fang Yan asked her mother-in-law for a solution on the grounds that her friend hit a ghost, and her mother-in-law was very concerned when she heard it, and quickly told Fang Yan all the content she had heard and understood, she told Fang Yan that ordinary people will have a dead soul after death, and often say that people will ascend to heaven after death, but this is only after the dead soul becomes a full soul will ascend to heaven or fall to the ground, the so-called whole soul is in the world but all wishes, no concern, no resentment, no attachment to the soul, but this kind of soul is too little, people's desires are too strong, money, power, love and hate, Hatred and so on all cause fixation and attachment, and these obsessive souls are usually attached to the things they love and care about the most in their lifetime. Usually when encountering ghosts, it is because the person who hits the ghost has inadvertently encountered or touched something attached to the soul. Generally, the dead soul is unconscious, and the memory of the dead is basically lost, and it is only fixed on the things that were greedy or resentful in life, and with the passage of time, the obsession of the dead soul will slowly subside, until it is completely gone, and then it can climb the ladder. However, some of the souls who are obsessed with deep attachments, such as being wronged, killed, and crazy, will retain some important memories and recall them every day, so the grudges will deepen and become more serious, and they will slowly become powerful ghosts, following the guidance of important memories, and have a tendency to harm others, until one day the things they covet are damaged or disappear, and it is possible to reduce their obsessions. There is still a way to crack it when you meet other ghosts, but if you meet a life-seeking ghost among the powerful ghosts, it must be someone who has had a blood feud before and came back to ask for your life, and you will definitely die, unless you find someone with advanced Taoism to help, you will definitely have to worry about your life.
Fang Yan listened while comparing last night's supernatural incident with what her mother-in-law said, some of the content is in line with it, and some of the content is deviated, after all, what her mother-in-law said is not necessarily credible, but there is one thing that Fang Yan agrees with, that is, if you want to let the soul enter reincarnation, you must eliminate the obsession of the soul, so if you want to eliminate the obsession of the 401 soul, you must solve the case as soon as possible, but there are too few clues at present, and the suspect has not been arrested. So Fang Yan asked, "Granny Immortal, do you say that there is any way to communicate directly with the dead souls?" When the fairy mother-in-law heard this, she was anxious, and persuaded Fang Yan not to easily provoke the dead soul, it was easy to get into trouble, and asked him to wear the peace charm he asked for in the temple with him, and then emphasized Fang Yan's life is too yin, easy to see ghosts or something, and did not mention how to communicate with the dead soul, Fang Yan had to comfort the mother-in-law, and repeatedly promised that he would not communicate with the dead soul before hanging up the phone. Despite this, Fang Yan had already decided to visit the bathroom again tonight and use his own methods to talk to the souls of the dead.
